Played a quick test game with this squad last night. Was a ton of fun.

Boba Fett Enforcer
Lando HOT
K-3PO
C3PO & R2D2
Leia, Senator
Rebel Trooper on Tauntaun
Verpine Tech
Rebel Vanguard x5
Caamasi Noble
Ugnaught Demolitionist

My opponent for our quick game was running Master Kota, Mas Amedda, 2 Felucian Rancors, and 1 regular Rancor. I dropped the UH Rancor by my first two activations of the 2nd round, lol.

Six Missles 30 shots a round is crazy. Granted, might have trouble against a Force Heavy or Accurate shooting squad, but it was a ton of fun to play. The Vanguards have some super mobility with Lando and Leia. And Lando makes for a great shooter for picking off scrubs so that the Vanguards can hit the big boys. :D

Looks nice, it will have trouble if your opponent has Yoda or is really lucky.

I've played squads similar to this and they are a blast, keep doing what you're doing.

Yeah, I think against Force heavy squads it would just be a matter of pummelling the same character over and over again until they run out of FPs.

But if they're lucky on top of the FPs then you're in trouble. :(

did someone mention luck?

Also, a good player will be careful to keep his/her beats out of LOS until they're right on top of you, possibly even adjacent to one of your figs.

I think it would benefit with Princess Leia, Hoth Commander. The chance at getting your Vanguards back is just too good an opportunity to pass down.

Leia Senator vs Leia Hoth Commander
HC is a save 16 (25% chance) on getting the figure back (way back in your starting area).
Senator is less points and the CE works every turn (if not disrupted).

For this squad, I think the mobile is better.

You mean an increased mobile? They already have mobile from Lando.

@Lobostele
If you want to you could take out Lando, HoT and put in 2 more Vanguards. It might take extremely careful positioning, but you get 60 more damage per turn.
